Chapter 73

Summer Frost POV

‘I don’t want to show you the ugly side of me, Summer. Come over and see me tomorrow’ A deep sigh escaped my throat when I read the text Mr. Miller had sent to me last night. I haven’t gone to his house after the incident, and I haven’t taken any of his calls either. Of course, I knew this was going to cause a huge trouble for me, but my m n t a l health was at stake and I needed to get everything together before speaking to him. Even though it turned out that he just did everything for me so he could use me, it still didn’t change the fact that he saved me, and for that, he deserved at least my respect and loyalty.

It was Saturday morning, but unlike every other weekends that I’d feel excited, I wasn’t feeling that way today for some weird reason. Maybe because of

the tired week I had, who knows?

I had just gotten off bed late in the morning and about to head into the bathroom when a knock came on the door, demanding my attention which I gave to it as I paused and looked at my locked door.

“Who is there?”

“Good morning, ma’am. It’s me, Chloe,” Chloe’s voice sounded from outside, so I ambled toward the door, unlocked and opened it, revealing the young lady who was graced in a casual cloth and an apron over her dress.

“Chloe… Is everything alright?” It was so unlike her to come to my room in the morning if it wasn’t for breakfast, and it’s obvious breakfast was not ready yet because it wasn’t time yet since we do have breakfast late on weekends.

“Yes, ma’am. A man is here to see you,” I pulled a puzzled look as I was not expecting anyone today.

“A man? Who is he?”

“He said his name is Mr. Hughes,” My heart missed a beat and I felt butterflies in my stomach when she said that. It was Xander!

“Alright. Tell him I’ll join him shortly,” After she nodded, I closed the door and crashed against it as I exhaled deeply. The thought of having Xander over this morning had me smiling foolishly to myself.

“Oh, no… What do I do?” A gasp tore through my throat upon realising that I looked a mess. I didn’t want him to see me like this.
